Words

The theme this week is “words”. I went through a lot of ideas this week. Most of which I’ve filed away for later, but I’ve got a sweet tooth something awful so I figured I could kill two birds with one stone, an interesting picture and a delicious breakfast.


57mm ISO 800 f/5 1/125sec



Slightly Cropped. PW’s Sharpen & Define. TheCoffeeShop’s Lomo Action.

My Muse

MCP Project 52: Muse/Week 5

I have so many Muses to choose from but Sara is hands down my favorite 10 year old muse. I only wish I was as smart, beautiful, and talented as she is.

52 mm f/6.3 1/20 sec ISO 800 I used my LightScoop on the flash.

For the edits I just ran CoffeeShop’s Perfect Portrait and couldn’t decide between the color or Black and White.




Sara what do you think?

Soothing Repetition

MCP Project 52: Soothing Repetition/Week 4

Staircase in Independence Hall

35mmm f/8 1/2 sec ISO 1600 ( would have liked a smaller aperture but I was hand holding the camera)




PW’s Define and Sharpen Action and a color adjustment layer



PW’s Define and Sharpen and Coffe Shop’s Vintage News minus the texture layer.

Shade of Gray

MCP Project 52: Shades of Gray/Week 3

Perry’s kitten Fleury
65mm f/2.8 1/125 sec ISO1600



PW’s Define and Sharpen and CoffeeShop’s Eye Bright and Lomo... I really love that Lomo action.

Leaving On a Jet Plane

The MCP project 52 for week 2 was interpret a song. Since I’ve been out of town I haven’t been able to post or upload them to flickr, and I’m playing catch up but they were taken on time. I love seeing the curve of the earth.

I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane.......

24mm f/11at 1/50 sec ISO 800



I used a tutorial from Practical Photography, that I bought to read on the plane, and learned to turn selections into layer masks and adjust the levels of each area separately. It’s not perfect but it is closer to what it actually looked like.
